EACH CHAPTER OFFERS MULTIPLE CASES THAT USE A CONSISTENT, PROVEN FORMAT. Cases begin with a summary describing the background and the holding of the lower court, followed by excerpts from the decision. These excerpts focus on the key issues at stake so students see the logic of the decision. The cases illustrate key concepts developed in the book and illustrate legal reasoning applied to common business situations. Most cases involve ordinary situations, rather than extraordinary circumstances or decisions made at the executive-suite level.
ISSUE SPOTTERS APPLY LEGAL PRINCIPLES TO COMMON BUSINESS SITUATIONS. This practical feature emphasizes the practicality of legal principles to everyday challenges, enabling students to see the relevance of the material they are learning.
INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES HIGHLIGHT VARIATIONS IN THE LAW AROUND THE WORLD. This feature appears in every chapter to provide a broader perspective on today’s legal concepts and how they apply to global businesses.
CASE QUESTIONS HELP THE STUDENT APPLY LEGAL REASONING. Students gain valuable hands-on experience as they complete Case Questions as well as practical Ethics Questions and Discussion Questions.
